Links To Christian Comedy

       Stand-up comedy is a comic style in which a comedian performs in front of a live audience, usually speaking directly to them. The performer is commonly known as a comic, stand-up comic, comedian, stand-up comedian, or simply a stand-up. In stand-up comedy, the comedian recites a grouping of humorous stories, jokes and one-liners typically called a monologue, explains pictures in funny way, routine or do act by using his imagination. Some stand-up comedians use props, music or magic tricks to "enhance" their acts. Stand-up comedy is often performed in corporate events, comedy clubs, bars and pubs, nightclubs, colleges and theaters. Outside live performance, stand-up is often distributed commercially via television, DVD, CD and the internet.
